Reaction-Analysis to Dan Vasc's cover of "Gethsemane" from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar

[@wallyca]

Hello there Sir. Dan Vasc stands for Daniel Vasconcelos, he´s a Brazilian who speaks Portuguese, obviously, but also speaks and sings in Italian, German and English, he goes from heavy metal to Opera, from Pop music to sacred religious songs and does it all perfectly, he´s dedicated to his music and fans and I guess what makes him a great artist is the kind of person he is, he´s personality, his life style off camera, it´s not all about being a great singer, but also a nice person, you should check Music of the night, from the Phantom of the Opera, Nessun Dorma an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot and Georg Friedrich Händel: Messiah - Hallelujah (One man choir) just to mention three of the many performances from Dan. Great reaction.

[@margijohnson5728]

And just to mention that he sings a beautiful Spanish song plus he also sings in Japanese😃

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

There is nothing more to say. You have said it all, exept that he has a glorious soul, he is so funny, kind, let no one step on him and he loves his fans.

[@pennydreadful-73]

A most informative reaction. We, his fans, love the amazing versatility of his voice!! It was so interesting to hear the critique of his 'performance ' was as spot on as his vocals. Dan is an independent artist, so most of his songs are his own arrangements and the harmonies are also overlays of him. Looking forward to more reactions, especially to Dan's other incarnations like Nessun Dorma, Burn Butcher Burn, Bring Me to Life and Amazing Grace.

[@ericzeichert511]

One million KZbin subscribers can't be wrong. Welcome to Dan's Vasc catalogue, If you find one you don't like, it will be the first one I know of. He soes other Lloyd Webber songs, but you might want to check out Nessun Dorma to see his opera chops. David, I really tried to see a camera move but it looks like maybe 3, or 6, still cameras with jump cut editing. Dan is an accomplished video editor, so he probably did that himself. His best editing is the Dan Choir doing Handel's Hallujah Chorus.

[@coletedeux]

Dan's Amazing Grace is unbelievably beautiful..

[@anitasaint7717]

Great reaction! Welcome to the Dan Vasc Universe! It is an Epic place! Hold onto your seat! His vocals are 🔥💥

[@shirleyemrick1700]

Stage worthy voice and performance. There is a good reason why Dan has one million subs, he is versatile and simply amazing. Many thanks for your reaction to Dan.

[@rachellenaish7941]

Thank you for making this performance by the great Dan Vasc even more meaningful than it already was. Excellent analysis!!!

[@linhager12]

❤❤❤❤ This always leaves me in tears... his performance is mesmerizing. Thank you for checking him out. You are in for the ride of your life as you head down the Vasc rabbit hole❤

[@donnafarran5326]

@mamalinhager I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!! 💯 Dan does the most riveting, passionate and raw display of vocal and dramatic finesse. This is standing ovation-worthy with thunderous applause for Dan! 👏🏼🔥🔥❤️❤️🇧🇷⚔️

[@BarbaraVale214]

There isn't anything he can't sing ..ballads, opera, metal ...He has become my favorite artist since hearing his Amazing Grace ..check out Nessun Dorma, Music of the Night from Phantom ...also O Holy Night, Adeste Fideles, his one man Hallelujah Chorus

[@carinarodebak9419]

This is one of the very best performances I've seen. Dan Vasc is a beast of a singer. His Amazing Grace is amazing indeed. Dan has done collabs with Erik Grönwall, another Swedish metal singer. For a while Erik fronted Skid Row. Erik has also done collabs with Tommy Johansson. We now await a collab btw Dan and Tommy. I coulld embrace 3 Metal tenors of Tommy, Erik and Dan, much like the 3 Opera tenors.

[@carmelitanobre8737]

That was an absolutely stunning performance by Dan. Beautiful, intense and truly emotional . Thanks for your detailed analysis and comments. Awesome.

[@carolburnett190]

As I’ve remarked on other reactors’ channels, the original movie version irritated rather than touched me and John Legend’s version did no better. Dan’s emoting is wonderful, and combined with his incredible voice, my first listen gave me both chills and tears. I truly hope you will check out more of Dan’s music.

[@margot.J]

No other artist has ever imprresed me as much as Dan Vasc. This is the most touching version of this song I have ever heard. Thank you fo your reaction !

[@KarenWarren-bu2bv]

Dan records everything in his garage. Another EXCELLENT performance is Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera. You will love it.

[@crystalinahenry4104]

And has several cameras that he uses at different angles. As far as I know he doesn't have someone filming these in person.

[@KindraTova]

He records his songs in his studio in his house. He then records the video to the song in his garage but lip syncs rather than singing. He said as much on the recent episode on Fear The Beardo: Bro Science with Dan Vasc, episode 3 on You Tube.

[@bobbiejojackson9448]

@@KindraTova I watched that episode because it was the first one after Dan hit 1 million subs. I don't remember him saying anything about it, but I do remember him discussing how he puts his videos together on a Geeks and Gamers or Friday Night Tights podcast about a year ago and he said that he does multiple live takes and then chooses the one he likes best to put together for the video. He said that his video of Handel's Messiah Hallelujah Chorus, took something like 200+ takes and several days to get all 24 "Dans" layered correctly. I'm not saying that you're wrong. I just heard him describe it a little differently. I'll have to check out that Fear The Beardo episode again.

[@karentobin8592]

Love Fabulous Dan❣️ Thank you for your reaction 😀👍

[@margijohnson5728]

Outstanding performance by Dan!❤❤ It's really difficult to choose favourites from Dan's catalogue of songs but his "Battle Hymn", a Manowar cover, is excellent. A different genre... The Hallelujah Chorus, One Man Choir is a masterpiece. Thankyou for your reaction and hoping for more Dan reactions😃

[@BobbiBulman]

😅

[@kristinabassi4215]

Dan Vasc stands for quality. In every single song, whether his own or a cover, he brings all his ability, emotion, drama, power, but he also masters the quiet tones professionally. Thank you for your great analysis. I really liked it. I'll be back. I can recommend everything by Dan Vasc, especially: Nessun Dorma, Phantom of the Opera, Amazing Grace, O Holy Night, The Sound of Silence, Mötley Crüe with Kickstart My Heart, Blind Guardian with Lord of the Rings, all Manowar covers, all Helloween covers. And last but not least, on the highest level, "Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen" 🤘😆♥️.

[@Kiwiklassic]

Thank you for your breakdown reaction it was great! Welcome to the Vasc Nation, & please react to My Heart Will go on, you definitely won't be disappointed with Dan in this song!

[@MaryFaili-xz4lx]

It's a wild ride!

[@irisradinger1632]

Great reaction to this masterpiece! Dan always lives his songs, you will find out. Please check out Amazing Grace and Toss A Coin To the Witcher. 😄

[@rjross1087]

Thanks for your interesting and detailed analysis! It was very thoughtful and informative. Dan is a true artist. Especially in the early days, he was his own director, lighting designer, recorder, editor, audio engineer,and pretty much everything else. And of course he has a glorious voice, incredible range, unbelievable breath control, deep expressiveness, and power and charisma to burn. He has extensive training in both classical and metal techniques, and he sings everything from folksongs, ballads, Broadway, Disney, Christmas songs, 80s covers, to opera, and of course tons of hard rock and metal, and his metalized versions of ordinary songs. If you try My Heart Will Go On you’ll be astonished. I look forward to more of your knowledgeable reactions! Thanks again.

[@claudiamarsh1648]

Excellent in depth reaction! I look forward to watching you learning more about Dan Vasc's music, such a gift.

[@KarySR47]

From my understanding, Dan records all his videos on his own, in his garage. He sets up a few cameras recording from different angles, shoots a couple of takes of the song, and then during editing he alternates between them, choosing which angle from which take he likes best for each section of the song, and puts it all together. Sometimes in this video you can see the camera slightly pan from side to side, but I think that can easily be done in editing, no camera people required.

[@elainecherry7765]

Thank you so much for your extensive analysis of this performance by Dan Vasc. I've listened to it many times, always in awe of his vocals and acting skills. You explained some aspects that helped me appreciate it even more. I do hope you will react to more of his songs. There are so many I could recommend but I will stay with the more theatrical, I'll Make a Man Out of You, from the Disney Mulan movie. He metalizes it and makes it so fun while vocally hitting the highest notes in his range. It is full of surprises that I think will delight you. I have subscribed and look forward to the next one.

[@lisasnyder5597]

Thanks for your reaction to Dan Vasc. He is extremely talented and does everything from metal to opera!

[@umarae27]

I agree, very excellent!! Dan is a miracle worker of sorts. He took a song I've always detected & turned it into a song I actually love.

[@umarae27]

Detected is supposed to read *detested*, but auto-correct refused to acknowledge that.

[@terryscott7071]

I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and in-depth analysis. This is one of my favorite songs that Dan sings and performs. I learned a lot from your analysis and I thank you for that.

[@AnnetteKommelt]

I remember coming across this video - right after listening to his performance of "Amazing Grace" and didn´t know this artist nor have I ever seen Jesus Christ Superstar. So I didn´t know what to expect. I was completely shocked and speechless, tears running down my face. I had to take a timeout to come to my senses again. I think that speaks for itself. When an artist, and yes I sincerly believe, that he is one, can do that to his viewers/listeners? WOW! My respect. Thank you for reacting/analysing to this treasure for us.

[@Katybug335]

Thank you for a wonderful analysis of this performance by Dan Vasc. I’ve watched it many times but you have indeed clarified for me why it so affects me.

[@manuelaryan5885]

thank you for your great reaction to Mr. Dantastic ❤ ........no matter what song ........he always becomes what he sings and that makes him so special

[@CapriUni]

I really appreciate how you give the history of the music. You spoil me.

[@zoltannekontra6134]

A miracle was born. Dan Vasc's success reflects his hard work, dedication and passion for his craft. This boy is a true combination of talent, hard work and determination!!!! She literally becomes the song she sings and draws you into her world. Then all of a sudden he kicked in KZbin's door and everyone is talking about him!!! Your star is rising higher and higher! You are a fantastic guy! I have never been impressed by a singer like this! It's a real heart booster to listen to him! And it's fucking good!!!/ sorry/ His song Amazing Grace will accompany me on my last "journey"!

[@Kristina-jf4hd]

Hail VascNation ❤! Yes, Dan pretty much does everything himself as he records in his garage. He also mixes and produces most of his songs. Where others are involved he gives credit. His Nessun Dorma is spectacular!!!

[@LornaMusial]

I love Dan ! Listen to amazing grace sung by him its will give u the lovely shivers !

[@carolaO-v2d]

What such a comprehensive analysis from you on this wonderful song sung by Dan. His vocal abilities and great presence are simply unique. Thank you very much for your reaction and sharing your thoughts on it.

[@noskerdycatUSA]

Great analysis. I learned alot.

[@jeandesavage-9925]

Dan does his videos as one shot, with no stops, as if he is on stage. He does that with all his music. He does his own editing and and video work (I don't know the terms). On many of his covers he does his own arrangements, making the songs his own, Amazing Grace is an example. Thank you for a great reaction, I like that you play it through at first without a milliom stops. The details done on the second go round are succint and right on.

[@donnafarran5326]

Dan delivers the most jaw-dropping, heart-wrenching performance that moves your soul and causes the tears to flow. This entire presentation is flawlessly executed. I marvel at Dan’s ability to join such intense emotions with vocal control, unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It is a brilliant and a captivating experience that show the listeners the vastness of what the Vasc can do! Hail to The Treasure From Brazil! If I were to give Dan a worthy standing ovation of his skills, gifts, talents and abilities….I would never be able to sit down, ever again……he’s THAT GOOD!!!!!! 🔥🔥❤️❤️🥰🇧🇷⚔️👏🏼

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

Thank you Sir. I have seen so many reaction to this song with Dan. Many good ones too, but I have to say that you are the best! I learned so mutch. Love from Norway❤

[@majhaludek3852]

Listen to his Nessum dorma and Amazing grace

[@elvirazandee8530]

Dan vasc sings Nightwish covers, also evanescence and queen, metal and opera (Nessum dorma)

[@SleepyheadJJC]

Thanks David 😊

[@jennyg3110]

Finally! 😉 Thanks for the great reaction, hope we don't have to wait that long for the next Dan video! 🙂

[@Robert-vv6tz]

Loved your reaction to this great performance from Dan. Please react to more of his work. Liked and subbed.

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

Thank you!

Thanks for your reaction and welcome to the Rabbit Hole ! There are so many to go - please keep on! Try Nessum Dorma and Music of the Night for some incredible opera ! Dan is so versatile with his covers !

[@shilohauraable]

I'm 71 & not a metal fan. But Dan Vasc is amazing & can do no wrong! He BECOMES the music! You need to also react to his version of "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera! It's mesmerizing! ❤

[@cclarke9301]

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed your critique of this song performed by Dan. Yes you did point out a number of things I hadn’t thought of. This song has more depth for me now. This is my first time listening to your channel. Dan is a chameleon of many techniques and genres. I hope you are able to react to some more music by this amazing man and his voice.

[@umarae27]

P.S. loved your analysis!!

[@MarindaMare-fn3wl]

Thank you for your reaction. Please listen to Dan doing Adeste Fideles in Latin, Angels heard on high in Italian, German, Portuguese, (choir with 65 layers of his own voice), and English with the chorus in Latin.

[@janinhasz161]

Dan Vasc is amazing!!!!!!

[@par500dragon7]

So glad you got to Dan! I became a fan over a year ago, when I discovered his Amazing Grace. Since then I've explored much of his catalog and have never been disappointed. One of my favorites is his 'I'll Make a Man Out of You' from the Disney movie Mulan. Just amazing! (This from a 65+ woman who has never been a metal fan!)

[@susansouthard]

What an amazing analysis! Thank you!

[@LHeyden-o6i]

I thoroughly enjoyed your thoughtful analysis of this masterful performance by Dan Vasc, my absolute favorite artist. I would love to see more! You can pick any song in his catalog, of any genre, and I doubt you’ll be disappointed. His work is perfection in every sense. Every eye movement, hand movement, vocal highlight or inflection is purposeful. He is very intentional in his choices. He feels every word he sings and makes the listener feel it too. He has worked VERY hard to hone his skills to perfection and gives his all in every performance. All that and he’s such a down to earth and genuinely good person. More Dan Vasc please!!🎶🫶

[@Starrynightdiner]

Thank you David. I’ll comment more on Discord. ❤

[@heatherrohde6541]

TOTALLY DO MY HEART WILL GO ON ❤

[@ellenduebrynjulfsen3394]

Yes. Dan sin also opera. Nessun Dorma is one.

[@ShyAnn291]

I have watched several reactions of this now, and you analysis is the best I have seen/heard! So thank you for that.

[@ntvtxn4]

EXCELLENT breakdown of this performance. I especially appreciated you mentioning the videography. Lighting, negative space, etc. He does all of this in his studio in Brazil. He is incredibly talented! Many thanks.

[@magdao8235]

Thanks for Your reaction and analysis 😊

[@SweetCuttlefish-AshleyE]

My favorite that I've heard of Dan's is Make A Man Out Of You from Mulan. It's kind of perfect.

[@crystalinahenry4104]

Just subscribed to your channel. Been enjoying your analyses for a while now. :) Happy to see you have discovered Dan Vasc! :)

[@marindapretorius8399]

What a fantastic review! I loved every minute of it! Dan of course is great in everything he does and sings. Epic!!❤

[@AliceI7764]

Really terrific breakdown of the song end of the performance. Dan's metal voice is astounding and I've never really liked metal before but now I do because of Dan. If you think that his technique on this song was rather astonishing then I recommend strongly that you listen to his rendition of Music of the Night from The Phantom of the Opera. Your analysis on that song will probably take longer than your analysis on this one. Thus far I have not found a genre that Dan Vasc does not master perfectly. From Opera to Broadway to Disney musicals to wonderful heavy metal to acoustic folk tunes. This young man can Master any type of music.

[@pamelariker5525]

Than you for your reaction and analysis to Dan Vasc performing Gethsemane. Just a little more insight - he has said that he does every video three times, with different camera angles each time. He then compares the audio from those three and chooses the one he thinks is the best. So even though he is singing on each one, the audio is taken from the one he considers the best. Then of course they are spliced together. And there we have it - the best of @DanVasc

[@jarthur9168]

You are fantastic with your reaction and explanation is out of this world! You did bring things to my attention!

[@cher6932]

I really enjpyed your reaction and analysis. You taught me a lot about how he was singing this song. I thought he did a spectacular job with it, just frim a feeling stand point, but enjoyed knowing the methods he used to make this song so real and grab my attention and make me feel how he was feeling. He us very good at conveying emotion to the listener.

[@Strawberry-IwasIcuddlecats]

Long Live The VASC NATION

[@jeandesavage-9925]

Dan uses multiple cameras, all running at the same time during the songs. This gives him the ability to have multiple views.

[@tinanichols203]

Really good reaction

[@heatherrohde6541]

❤

[@majhaludek3852]

Also listen to Dimash Kudaibergen singing with Placido Domingo in the pearl fishermen's duet. Dan and Dimash are both classically trained. Dimash has a range of 6 octaves and sings in multiple languages. He plays 7 instruments. He is from Kazakhstan. His love is like dream and his Olymico are proof of his range. El amor en TI is another one. His latest is a more pop style . When I got you.

We all have hard times and while some people can go through a b c no problem, that same situation in simular form, is a mountain to high to climb. I spent quite a lot of time figuring what was the best sure way to die. I wanted to dissappear without being noticed. I just wanted to have never existed. I won't give a lot of details. Basic history, my first memory of sexual abuse wad at 3 years old by my uncle. I was in an abusive marriage for 40 years. Covid hit and took my health. Thank you for saying you would listen. I use to cut and I've sat with a gun in my lap. I have been driving and thought about running I to a stone wall. Needless to say, I have felt all types of pain. Besides the emotional, and mental abuse physical illness has caused such great pain I scream and cry. This terrifies my sweet fur babies. I am so alone most of the time. YET,I am surrounded by the presence of the only one who really loves me. If it were not for the love of CHRIST I would be dead. HE always makes a way. My late husband spent 3 hours once telling me how he wanted to kill me. I realize now many ways he tried, but GOD did not allow it. This tells me HE has a plan for me. Again thank you so much. THIS IS part of GODS PLAN for you and our sweet DAN.
